And further:The fact that concept formation is primarily top-down in nature, has a number of consequences for how the conceptual system develops […]. I have already mentioned one: ‘Basic-level’ concepts inherit the properties of the global classes from which they are derived. […] Because infants at first divide the world of objects into animals and nonanimals and because learning takes place within existing knowledge structures, every time a new category is learned within these global domains, it is necessarily learned as a subdivision of this larger division. The infant looking at dogs and cats does not at first conceptualize them as two different kinds, but as discussed below, most likely as two different-looking, self-moving interactors. When they do become conceptually distinct, it is as two self-moving interactors that vary in appearance and the sounds they make, that behave rather differently to petting them, and that have different names, but their animal membership is never in question (Mandler 2008: 210).
